Protecting NFL players

This blog is about possible ways to protect the NFL players from head injuries. The NFL has implemented many rules to protect quarterbacks, but not the rest of the team. So I have put in a few ideas for them to add.

I think that the NFL should have more rules preventing illegal hits to players resulting in concussions and other serious injuries. Especially since it has been proven that many retired players have brain and head problems long after playing from countless concussions and blows to the head. So if the Commissioner were to put into a new rule how would it really affect a sport that players play after play put their bodies, and lives for that matter, on the line? In my opinion i do not think it would do anything to the sport. Many players don't mean to hurt anyone else to start with, so with a new rule most defensive players would almost be "scared" to tackle another player just in fear of a big fine and possibly hurting another player. The NFL just needs to protect players without implementing new rules that make the game a little less interesting. So to save players from injuries, any player leading with their helmet, being offensive or defensive, they shall be fined $10,000 and must sit the next scheduled game, and any time after that the fine goes up $5,000 and another week. With this in place more players will be saved from head injuries.

So in conclusion, there are a number of ways the NFL could protect other players besides quarterbacks. Many players suffer major from head troubles in the future far after retirement. So with new rules in place this could virtually eliminate any troubles they could have.
